The Origin Of Education And Mandatory Schooling
Prior to the late 1800’s, education was a private practice that took place in private institutions or through home schooling. That all changed in 1902 when John D. Rockefeller created the general education board in conjunction with Frederick T. Gates. Frederick T. Gates was a close friend, business and personal advisor to Rockefeller. The general education board was responsible for funding the American public school system, and provided over one hundred million dollars in 1902 while continuing their support beyond 1902. If we follow the money, the general education board was responsible for the creation of the American public school system. Does education not play a large role in manipulating the consciousness of human beings? By consciousness manipulation I mean trying to influence the way that the human being perceives the environment around them. In order to implement this system, teachers need to teach, and somebody needs to teach the teachers, and somebody needs to teach them too. It’s time we start questioning the real purpose of education and who exactly is putting human beings through this system, and for what purpose?
“So who made all this up? What’s with all this structure? Do we need to play this structure? Are we limited? No” – Franco DeNicola
Early Age Schooling
From an early age, we are forced into a mandatory school system that requires and encourages youth to attend for a large portion of their human life, for six hours a day. Each child is required to learn the accepted version of reality in order to fit into the specific mold desired by the elite. Just like television, a large part of school is simply programming. It’s ironic how the same families behind the funding are responsible for many inhumane atrocities that took place throughout history. They are also behind big oil, big pharma, food and other industries that are becoming more transparent as of late. Kids who do not fit into the system and do not resonate with it are usually labelled and medicated. Essentially, the whole point of school is to shape the reality of the student. We are taken from a very early age and put into the institution, from there we are shown how the world works and what we need to do to survive in it. School literally paints the perception that we need to do well in order to have a job so we can make money and pay our bills. It has nothing to do with the type of growth the human being needs. The concept of grades and marks do not signify any level of intelligence. In school we are shown the idea of an authority figure, how the world works and what intelligence is.
“Never confuse education with intelligence.” – Albert Einstein
“I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.” – John D Rockefeller
“In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.” – Frederick T Gates

The Power of Homeschooling
It seems homeschooling is much more likely to create a creative, adaptive, and forward thinking person who is less conditioned to think only within the small confines of a crumbling system. Does this mean it is for everyone and that one can’t turn out that way through standard education? No, simply the chances are far greater with homeschooling.

At an annual meeting in St. Paul Minnesota, a resolution was passed by the Normal School Section of the NEA. An excerpt stated:
“We view with alarm the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations—agencies not in any way responsible to the people—in their efforts to control the policies of our State educational institutions, to fashion after their conception and to standardize our courses of study, and to surround the institutions with conditions which menace true academic freedom and defeat the primary purpose of democracy as heretofore preserved inviolate in our common schools, normal schools, and universities.”

“QAnon” Answers Questions About The Moon Landings & Extraterrestrials
In Brief
- The Facts:
QAnon is still at it, he/she recently stated that we did indeed go to the Moon, but that the official story was not the correct one. Q also made it a point to let readers know about the "vastness" of the universe.
- Reflect On:
We don't need Q as a source, most of the topics Q brings up are already backed by evidence. One can do their own research and find multiple 'credible' sources on these topics. There are a list of examples at the end of the article.
The mainstream coverage of the fairly recent “QAnon” issue has been quite embarrassing, it showed a lack of research, a lack of knowledge, and a lack of understanding of how our world really works. A long time ago, Collective Evolution began creating awareness about the “Deep State,” or “Shadow Government,” (those two might also be separate entities) one that’s been spoken of by various people within government for decades. Theodore Roosevelt is one example I like to use, who emphasized that behind the elected government “sits an enthroned and invisible” government. He stated that the task of the real patriot would be to dismantle this secret government. This is why when words like Deep State started being mentioned in the mainstream media quite often, it caught our attention, and so did this QAnon phenomenon. The idea of a Deep State is far from a conspiracy theory, there is a ton of evidence in a number of different places to show this.
The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states, and nation… The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. – John F. Hylan, Mayor of New York City from 1918-1925 (source)(source)
This is also seen when you really look at American politics, it’s not a democracy, it’s a corporatocracy that’s controlled by the financial elite. Representatives of this Deep State, according to several global politicians, Vladimir Putin and Bashar Al Assad being the latest, surround the president after the election and let them know all of the dirt they have on them, and what they can and cannot do…It’s not just global politicians, but many Americans and American politicians as well, as detailed about with one example being Hylan. This has also been expressed by several whistleblowers, like the NSA’s William Binney, which brings me to my next point…(if you follow the money, it’s not hard to see).
Politics is simply a tool used by the global elite, who control politicians like puppets. Most of them anyway…
Multiple insiders and people like Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, William Binney, Sibel Edmunds, Thomas Drake and more, have all been explaining for years that there is a huge divide within the US Government, within the NSA, the CIA and the FBI, and that massive amounts of fake news and propaganda are dished out from these areas. There is ‘good’ and then there is the ‘bad,’ which is composed of those who push the agenda of the financial elite, a new world order, one in which a small majority of powerful people, whom clearly control multiple governments, push and impose their ‘political’ and ‘economic’ will on other countries and use false flag terrorism as a means to achieve it. It is my opinion that the war on terrorism is a complete fraud, and a fabrication, similar to the war on drugs.
So, when it comes to QAnon saying there is a ‘Deep State,’ it’s easy for mainstream media to brand this as a conspiracy theory simply because they don’t have any understanding of it. QAnon was and is not needed at all, we can see that there is a Deep State, and we can provide examples in many ways, something which we’ve been doing for years, and many others have as well.
QAnons claims are out there, for example, accusing the global elite of being involved in a massive satanic global pedophile ring. Again, this was also branded as a “conspiracy theory” with no evidence. The funny thing is, we don’t need a QAnon to bring this up as a form of proof, there are countless examples from the Vatican, from within the military industrial complex and within several governments as well within organizations like the United Nations that could all be used as pieces of evidence…It’s enormous and hardly a debatable subject. For more information on that, you can visit the International Tribunal For Natural Justice. Why didn’t mainstream media bring up the NBC news report implicating in covering up a massive pedophile ring within the state department? Anyways, I digress.
‘Conspiracy Theories’ have been confirmed in many different ways, the only ammo the mainstream media has, is simply to ridicule a topic, label it as a conspiracy theory and not even address any of the evidence that’s been brought up.
The people involved in this type of activity have risen to the top of the global power structure, occupying major positions that dictate global policy, which is why it’s so hard to bring accountability to them, especially when they can simply use their mainstream media networks to brand something a “conspiracy theory.”
It’s time to turn off your T.V. and do your own research in order to determine the credibility behind certain claims. We do not need government agencies deciding for us what is ‘fake news’ and what is not ‘fake news.’ It’s time to think for ourselves, and we are, which is why all of this stuff is slowly seeping into the mainstream consciousness….We are becoming aware.
Below is a great explanation from CE Founder Joe Martino, I thought it was important to put it here before we get into what QAnon recently said about the life on other planets.

So, What Does Q Have To Say About Life On Other Planets?
Q recently posted about information related to the Moon landing, Roswell, and the Secret Space Program, one that Pentagon hacker Garry Mckinnon brought to light approximately a decade ago when he performed the largest military computer hack in history.
On September 19th, an anonymous user asked Q, “Are we alone? Roswell? And Q responded with, “No. Highest classification. Consider the vastness of space.”

He or she was then asked if we really went to the Moon. The user asked, “Did NASA fake the Moon landings? Have we been to the Moon since then? Are there secret space programs? Is this why the Space Force was created? ‘Q’ answered, “False, Moon landings are real. Programs exist that are outside of the public domain.”
Again, this is yet another example of where we don’t really need a ‘Q’ for us to really get to the bottom of the fact that something is going on. The UFO phenomenon is now verified within the mainstream, I recently published an article about the latest updates with regards to mainstream UFO disclosure:
The US Government Just Admitted To Recovering Materials from UFOs – Here Are The Latest Updates
We have statements from high-ranking people from within governments, military, intelligence agencies, academia and more to compliment the electrooptical data, radar trackings, physical evidence etc…
The statement below from Victor Marchetti, former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, doesn’t seem to hold so true anymore, at least the last part.
“We have, indeed, been contacted — perhaps even visited — by extraterrestrial beings, and the US government, in collusion with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public.”
(Second Look, Volume 1, No 7, Washington, DC, May, 1979)
As far as the Moon goes, Q’s comments are interesting, because I share the same sentiment after all of my research into the topic, something I’ve been doing for more than a decade. You can see why I feel the way I do, and all of the evidence available that has me, and others like Q, thinking that way. The only difference is, perhaps Q is privy to insider knowledge, perhaps not, but that’s not the point here. The source of this information should not be put on Q, it should instead simply point to the evidence which already exists.
The Deputy Manager for the Clementine Mission to The Moon told the world that it was really a photo reconnaissance mission to investigate artificial structures that have been built on the back side of the Moon by, who knows? A study was recently published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration examining strange, what appears to be, artificial structures on the back side of the Moon.

Natural Law Part 5: This Man Is Claiming His Scotland District As Sovereign Territory
In Brief
- The Facts:
Stuart Hill, a resident of Shetland, has long fought for the independence of Shetland and his self-claimed state, Forvik Island, as his way of bringing attention to the natural rights and freedoms of citizens that have been hidden from us.
- Reflect On:
Can Stuart Hill's fight help to inspire our own awakening to our true sovereignty as individuals that fosters its gradual implementation into our societies?
Stuart Hill is a resident of Shetland, ‘Scotland.’ Scotland is in quotation marks here because Hill believes that Shetland is not, and never was, a part of Scotland. Nor does he think it is part of the UK, or the European Union, for that matter.
His argument? There is absolutely no proof that Shetland ever became a part of Scotland. And he has done the historical research that backs this up,
“The only powers granted to King James III of Scotland in 1469, when he accepted these islands as security in the matter of payment of a marriage dowry, were those of trustee. His Majesty was holding them in trust until they were redeemed by King Christian of Denmark and Norway or his successors. The Plenipotentiaries of Europe confirmed in the 1667 Peace and Treaty of Breda that these arrangements remained in full force at that time and nothing has happened since then to give the monarch any further rights or powers.”
Note that Hill does not treat this as simply a research project. He has tangled with law enforcement and the courts on more than one occasion–and has served time — as a result of his stance of not recognizing the jurisdiction of Scottish courts on residents of Shetland in the first place. Like many pioneers who delve into the murky waters of the judicial system from a place of truth and integrity about our Natural Rights and Freedoms, he has been met with puzzlement and confusion in some cases, and arrogance and ridicule in others. He has experienced first-hand the resistance of people of authority ‘within’ the system who do not react very kindly to challenges to the grounds of their authority as such.
Claiming The Island Of Forvik
Having actually and metaphorically gotten shipwrecked onto Shetland some 17 years ago after trying to circumnavigate the UK in a boat he made himself (a story in itself described in this article), it seemed like the universe meant him to relocate to this remote northern district, to try to flesh out and realize his beliefs about the individual sovereignty of human beings and the corruption and falsity of the current political and economic order.
This public notice on his website bears witness to his unilateral declaration of the independence of Shetland:
PUBLIC NOTICE
To all persons exercising the alleged authority of
Scotland, The United Kingdom or The European Union in Shetland or Orkney:
You are hereby notified that The Crown produced no proof that Shetland is part of Scotland when required to do so at Lerwick Sheriff Court on 16 August 2011. Since that time courts at every level in the Scottish System, including the Supreme Court in London, have evaded the question when challenged. All proceedings in those courts in relation to Shetland are therefore null and void.
You are hereby notified that the court continued to exercise its alleged authority with no proof of its jurisdiction.
With this knowledge you are hereby advised that, in exercising your alleged authority, you expose yourself to the risk of personal liability against which your bond or insurance, will be worthless.
This Public Notice will be founded upon in the event of any action.
In the context of Shetland and the residents upon it being their own authority, Hill has laid claim in particular to the independence of Forvik, a small island within the district of Shetland, which Hill is the self-appointed authority of, and upon which he has maintained occasional (and sole) residence.

Forvik Island
One could hardly argue that Hill has declared himself King of this small territory for any personal gain or benefit. This article gives important insights into why waging political and legal battles and risking going to jail has a larger purpose for Hill, one that will resonate with the Awakening Community:
He says his goal is to establish an alternative administration in Shetland, and what he calls a ‘fairer society’ than the one he left behind the in UK. He says he’s become disillusioned, as many have, with the obfuscation of 21st century democracy by ‘politicians, lawyers, pointless middlemen, basically’. There has to be a better way, he says.
Since declaring independence for Forvik in 2008, Hill has sold more than 200 ‘citizenships’ on his island, with full members entitled to participate in the island’s ‘direct democracy’ system, a sort-of internet polling system to decide consensus on key issues. What key issues an island with a land mass totaling around 2.5 acres, and with only one occasional resident, faces is unclear. But it’s the principle which Hill is trying to establish.
“Forvik is a microcosm, basically, operating under a direct democracy system that gives power to the people, not politicians. It’s my hope that Forvik will provide an example for Shetland to follow and that Shetland in turn will provide an example for other countries and regions, the people of which would prefer a system where their politicians represent, rather than rule them.”
“If the electorate is empowered to instruct officials directly, do we have any need for politicians and all that goes with them? No politicians, no MP’s expenses, no illegal wars, no lobbying, no control by big business and bankers.”
A Harbinger
Stuart Hill is one of those rare people who has come ready to fight for truth and principles despite the enormous weight of opposition, not only from the duplicitous rulers of the status quo but also from fellow citizens who do not yet have the vision and understanding to see our Natural Rights out in front of us ready to be grasped and held on to.
In this way he is a harbinger, one of the strong rays of light that helps to bring what has long been hidden into view. The Awakening Community must applaud the efforts of people like Stuart Hill, because they not only help us to realize ourselves as fully sovereign, but they pave the way for our work of transforming our societies in ways that reflect this sovereignty.
